Comments
Collapse of WNW facing slope just north of the west ridge of East Bowl, about midway up between East Bowl Pass and summit to the east. Occurred as we tiptoed out to assess stability. Not steep enough to slide where we were. Backed out to the ridge and stayed away from steeper north facing after that. Thought that the western tilt of that face would have been safe, but is wasn't.
